Thank you Chris

I FOUND THAT VERY INTERESTING

'Country' had a specific meaning back then.

A 'Country' was an area of approx 10 to 20 miles across and bordered by the nearest market towns.

David Hey explains it more fully in the National Archives podcast...

Chris

I thought it was linked to the Latin word for our too,

I wonnder if it might be "of this parish" in Latin church speak.

Thanks so much for your explanation and your time.

that makes it a little clearer for me. Maybe it means "of the same parish" as is recorded in some later record dates.
and
spoke the same language, lived in the same area.

I wonder if it means something to do with this?????????


Nostratic

This proposed macro-family includes indigenous Indo-European, Afroasiatic, and Dravidian language families. It may be further subdivided into the Uralic, Altaic, Kartvelian, Elamite, Sumerian, Nivkh, Yukaghir, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, and Eskimo-Aleut families. The Proto-Nostratic language is a hypothetical Nostratic family language that may be the ancestral language of those in the macro-family, although this is controversial and not widely accepted. The 20th-century Nostratic hypothesis originated with linguist Holger Pedersen. Its name is derived from the Latin word nostrates, which means "fellow countrymen."
